Sometimes I hear people complaining about "cute" and "girly" artwork not having any merit. I don't think doing this is any easier than anything else I've done. This painting alone took 8-9 hours to do straight. Just make stuff that makes you happy! I personally like to laugh (you know, surprisingly some people don't!), and I like my heart to feel warm, so I'm gonna make cute things that make me happy, tough nuts. Students, especially in the BFA, tend to enjoy ripping other peoples' styles apart just to make themselves feel better, and that's really unfortunate. If you have your own style and you put love and effort into what you make, it's beautiful <3

hola! it's been an ultra busy spring semester, but I assure you, many things are being done!

I'm working on a new storybook that I'm actually really excited about, but for right now I'll keep what it's about a surprise ;)

anyhoo, here's a digital painting I did!

I love underwater scenes so much, this was fun to paint, I want to try more like this! I bought a big pad of pastel paper and brand new prismacolor soft pastels so I can't wait to experiment, I like the texture a bunch.

sorry for the unplanned hiatus from you, blogspot! I've been having a ball over at tumblr. I'm not going to abandon you though! If it's any consolation, here is a brochure I made! It's done in Illustrator CS4, and you can see them up close by clicking on the image and going to my deviantart! :)

and as an added bonus, have some buscemi! (it works as a tiled wallpaper) ♥
